The video discusses an model for the internal structure of the electron that is not aligned with the opinions and views of main-stream physics.
0:00 intro
01:43 what if particles are made of light?
02:35 Issues with the electron as a point entity
05:22 Compton wavelength
10:24 Circular polarization of light
10:50 The WvdM electron model
20:00 Calculation of charge from EM energy
22:37 Point interaction (de Broglie harmony of phases)
28:05 Mechanism of self-confinement
33:00 Some additional random questions for the Universe

The end tune is based on “Questions for the Universe” by Laufay Jónsdóttir. I guess the song (here in a special edition featuring Liam Fullersheit) is a testament of how diverse our questions to the universe can be ;-).
Check out Laufey’s amazing music on her own YouTube channel:
